[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Ray of Light"]The numbers I gave for a 2405 came from some guy putting the LCD beside a CRT, feeding them one video signal shared via Y-cable, filming them running a stopwatch app, and subtracting. So those are CRT-delta numbers, whereas the measurements in Anandtech's article measure absolute delay. I'd expect any arcade enthusiast -- <i>even a shitty one</i> -- to notice the lag on a 2405. I bought it and, knowing nothing about this problem, played a few hours of Q3A to find that I'm suddenly walking off of ledges that should have been jumped from, and so on. Display lag is worse than high ping, it's like playing drunk.[/quote] Thanks. I'm bookmarking everything you've written about monitors recently, for when it comes time to make my purchase. I might see if I can grab a 21" CRT from Craigslist in the very short term, as that would still be a 4" larger tube than what I am used to. I'm sick of living like this Ray. I'm sick of it. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote]
